I've got my encoder working now... and i put a proeprty page interface to allow the user to set a few encoding paramters to start off with... but changing the paramters doesn't seem to make barely any difference... These are the defaults i'm using... mTheoraInfo.target_bitrate=400000; mTheoraInfo.quality=30; mTheoraInfo.dropframes_p=0; mTheoraInfo.quick_p=1;

Hi There, i want to stream some pictures out of my application using the Theora codec. I can stream to a socket or a file. The current work based on the png2theora example. Something while enconding went wrong: I can see the whole video in VLC, but the complete duration of the file will not be displayed. If i play the video in Firefox, the first 2 seconds will not be played. I think the

Hello, I've built my own source for ICE/SHOUTcast, and it works pretty well except for one thing. After tuning into the server and listening for an 60-90 minutes you may hear a song skip ahead 30-90 seconds. I think I know why this is happening but I'mnot sure how to fix it. I think this is happening because my source is sending a little bit too much data to ICE/SHOUTcast. My formula

Hello, I'm not sure if this list is the proper place for this post; please correct me if it is not. I am attempting to use libtheora and I have been looking through the examples in the distribution Excerpt from encoder_example.c -- case 'V': video_r=rint(atof(optarg)*1000); if(video_r<45000 || video_r>2000000) { fprintf(stderr,"Illegal

Hi Is there a way to estimate the number of bytes per second from the information passed in the th_info-struct to the Theora encoder's th_encode_alloc()? I'm trying to be able to give users a rough estimate of the file size needed to encode with the setting provided to th_info-struct (frame width/height, fps_numerator/fps_denominator, target_bitrate and quality). -- Bjoern

Hi. I'd like to ask a little about where Ogg stands today when it comes to streaming audio. The VBR has been the main argument in the incompatibility for streaming but has this changed somehow or will it? Is there something else besides quick and large scaled bandwith usage variations and the difficulty of buffering, that could cause problems? CBR could be used but some people say that it

I am trying to write a sample app that uses Theora for encoding/decoding a network video stream. Unfortunately, I keep running into this error: Run-Time Check Failure #3 - The variable 'MVect' is being used without being defined. It always happens on decryption, line 467 in decode.c. The issue is that CodingMethod is equal to 5 (CODE_GOLDENFRAME), which doesn't initialize the

Hey Folks. I'm currently working on implementing Theora Video playback for the Unity engine (http://www.unity3d.com). So far everything works fine, But I have a small question: Is there a reliable way to predict what bitrate a stream will have when encoding or decoding? Of course, there's the target_bitrate parameter in the Theora Info structure, but somehow, I always get quite

Hi all. In my test application I saw that the encoding process with Theora is too CPU expensive ( compared to FFmpeg - MP4 ) ... Perhaps I'm using wrong parameters: ti.fps_numerator = fps * 11 + 1; // var framerate ti.fps_denominator = 11; ti.aspect_numerator = 1; ti.aspect_denominator = 1; ti.colorspace = OC_CS_ITU_REC_470BG; //

Hi everybody, me again. I'm trying to write my own VFW-like dll... It doesn't need to do much. 1.) compress a single frame and give it back to the host application 2.) host applications sends the frame 3.) client application receives frame 4.) client application tells the dll to decompress the data So if I try to do this, something is going wrong... Perhaps someone could have a look at my

Hi all. I would really like to use Theora for the commercial product I work on... It's a Linux based DVR. Actually we use ffmpeg to produce MPeg4 short clips from 4 BNC channels in CIF resolution. I made a small module for our project that uses Theora... but I see that it gets a lot of CPU :( So I'm here to ask for any kind tips to reduce the CPU usage. - Hardware... do you think there

Hi I'm evaluating Theora for a video communication system and would like some info as to what the following struct members (from the theora_info structure) do and what values one should pass to them: If there is some documentation somewhere that I've missed, please direct me to it. ===== Extract from theora.h ===== int quality; int quick_p; /* quick encode/decode */

Hi all. I post a small app I made that create 2 clips using a V4L device. I would like to get every tips you think it's useful... Some notes: - I make 2 clips because in our project we create series of clips and it's important to check that the all the resources ( memory, descriptors, etc. ) are freed correctly and to reuse all the resources that can be reused - the clips are not well

below is an rfc-style bitmap of the initial theora header. I've checked it against the spec and the code in libtheora; please double check :) I'm posting it here for those implementing demux stages (which necessarily don't use libtheora), and hence offering it for the spec. A typical demux stage just needs to pick out the FRN, FRD and KFGSHIFT fields, without going through the whole

For last few days I was trying to learn ffmpeg and libtheora API. In the process, I have modified ffmpeg2theora code to include support for start time and end time. ffmpeg2theora -s 60 -e 130 file.avi will produce file.ogg which will be from 60th to 130th second of input file (something like -ss and -endpos in mencoder). This is a useful feature for someone who wants to cut a part of video

Hi! Some background: I am trying to create an application that would encode video taken by USB camera using Theora and then send it to the client. I have almost succeeded, but I have one problem. When I grab video frames from the camera and encode them they form 4KB OGG pages, then I send them over TCP/IP to the client application. Since I want to achieve as small latency as possible I

Hi all. I'm Mat & I'm new :) I'm testing libtheora + libogg perhaps for a commercial product. I started watching encoder_example.c ... I simplified it for testing it easier. It seems ok to me but I have no experience with theora so I would like to know if my code is correct. I tried to debug it with Valgrind and I found 4 possible memory leaks... but I think they can be

Hi, the attached patch (against current SVN) adds three new options to ffmpeg2theora: --keyint (set keyframe interval) --smoothness (set the theora_info::sharpness encoding parameter) and --noautosync (disable the new frame dropping/duplicating code). It also fixes a bug with the processing of --cropright that sometimes segfaulted. The sync adjustment code is now tuned to be more reliable. BTW
